Well, the bridge bearing his name received a warm makeover just last weekend and is now the talk of the town!
Knit the Bridge got over 250 volunteers together after raising an impressive $100,000 to cover the Warhol bridge with 600 colorful blankets. In an effort to pay homage to the thriving art culture in Pittsburgh, one group member said, "Unlike graffiti, yarn bombing can be done without any damage to historic structures and is temporary and easily removable."
In the Pittsburgh area? You can see this piece of functional art on display through September 6th and it's quite a sight to be seen:
What do you think of the makeover? Does it look like something Andy Warhol would like?
